About the Book: 
This book is a memoir about the happy childhood of a Catholic boy who grew up in the 1950s in Pittsburgh. It presents the memories of “Buddy” Maloney of his family and the North Point Breeze neighborhood, his friends and what they did together. It describes going to school, with episodes from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade, and remembers the nuns who taught at Holy Rosary School. It presents the centrality of “Church” in the family’s life, with episodes about parish life and worship including the priests, their spiritual leaders.

Neither a documentary nor a work of fiction, these are the memories of a six to twelve-year-old child, honestly told for the enjoyment of the reader. The author, now a seasoned scholar and professor of Sacred Scripture, makes some terse commentary, some seventy years after the events occurred. With these charming episodes and descriptions of bygone days, Br. Elliott Maloney, OSB, hopes to stimulate some good conversation about past times and on how we raise our children today.

About the Author:
Br. Elliott Maloney, OSB, is a Benedictine monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, PA, who grew up in Pittsburgh’s North Point Breeze neighborhood. He presents a memoir of his homelife, friendships, and schooldays from the 1950s, as he remembers his social and religious life from then, for the enjoyment of the reader and perhaps to stimulate some good conversation on raising children today.

The book runs the length of Br. Elliott’s elementary school days, ending in the summer of 1959, when Westinghouse Electric transferred the family to Buffalo, NY. After prep school there he went to Saint Vincent College and entered the monastery as a Novice there in 1965, taking first vows as a monk in 1966. After college graduation he studied in Rome for three years and earned a pontifical degree in Sacred Theology (STL) at the international Benedictine university of Saint Anselm (1972). He then began the PhD program in New Testament Studies at Fordham University in New York, which he completed in 1978.

Br. Elliott began teaching at Saint Vincent in 1976, later chairing the Religious Studies Dept. in the College for 13 years, all the while holding a professorship in the Seminary in New Testament Studies and Biblical Languages. His research has taken him often to Brazil over the past thirty years, and from it and his long study of the Gospel of Mark, he published Jesus’ Urgent Message for Today: The Kingdom of God in Mark’s Gospel (2004). He also has made five teaching visits to Africa, to the Dominican Institute, a Catholic seminary in Nigeria. From this experience, a series of Bible workshops in Jamaica, and years of teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses, he published his introduction to the thought of the Apostle in Saint Paul, Master of the Spiritual Life “in Christ” (2014). Both books have received awards from the Catholic Press Assn.

Work on this new memoir was inspired by Annie Dillard’s An American Childhood (1987). She responded to his inquiry with a very nice letter encouraging Br. Elliott’s idea to write about the Catholic boy that that Protestant girl was wondering about in her book. After making a sketch of the stories he wanted to relate in his memoir, he could not find time to write more on it until a sabbatical in 1997 (in Brazil!). He continued remembering and writing, on and off, until Christmas of 2024, when he decided to finish and publish the book. Br. Elliott still teaches two graduate courses a year in the Seminary, now in his 101th Semester. He continues his monastic life at Saint Vincent Archabbey and is a popular public speaker on New Testament topics.
